Love the muted tones in this image. Long exposure was my first thought for this week as well but when I went out the tide was well out!! Well done.
I like it just as well, if not a wee bit more, with the jetty cropped out.

Smashing long exposure Stan, perfect for the smooth theme!
It's interesting to see the non filtered version too.
The long exposure has lifted what would have been quite a gloomy (but still good) image to a remarkable and compelling seascape.

Young - Very shallow DoF. Perhaps too shallow, I would have liked the pink tips of the flower to have been in the sharpest region really.

Food - Chuckle, I really like that. It must've taken quite some effort and more than a few goes to get that shape right. Really liking this shot. I think that would sell you know.

Smooth - The long exposure really works to present a calm effect on what looks like it was really quite a rough day.
Interesting how it doesn't lose the wind farm (okay so the blades are gone, but at that range it doesn't matter).

Above - So I finally got here You have more blue sky in your version, but I think you need to come down a tad in your shutter speed to allow the props to blur more. Maybe 1/200th? Nicely composed with space to fly into.

Two terrific images for the 'above' theme Stan!
The first is my pick too....just love the simple composition, nice sky detail, great contrasts and the lights on the aircraft draw the eye nicely!
The motion blur on the propellers is jolly good too!
Just 'plane' fab!

Liking your image for smooth. It's possibly too smooth for water, it looks like a kind of mist. Not a criticism - just the effect of the ND filters.
Both shots for above are very good. I like the blur in the props of the first one so that clinches it over the other shot for me.

This is my first idea when the theme was posted and I know there are a couple of Hot Chilli shots already this week but I think mine is slightly different. Although this is from just one image I have to proces it twice in RAW, one for the smoke and the other for the chilli then stacked them in PS and a bit of masking to get this result.
